Crawford

OK, what do we do with him?

1) Continue to play him. He needs to work his way out.

2) Bench him for a few games. Play Arias there. CrawBaby needs to clear his head.

3) Send him to Fresno. He needs to play no-pressure games for a while to get over the yips.

4) Fuck the I's

Continue to play him.

Way I see it, get over all the growing pains now and have your team ready for the second half. Get Crawford, and Belt too, comfortable in their positions and when Pablo returns, go from there.

Agreed. And Belt is already looking decent. Good slash line now. He's confident the position is his. The power will come.

I am a bit concerned about continuing to play him. Not that I want to Jimmy Jack him, or anything like that, I just do not want his carcass picked clean by the wolves. It may be a good idea to sit him for a few days for mental rest, or get him out of dodge for a few weeks so he can get his feet back on the ground.

I emphasize...

I LIKE CRAWFORD!! I think he has a decent chance of having a decent career. I think it is a good idea to do what is best for the long haul for him...

#2 and #4 - Always #4.

#2 because he looked defeated out there today.

By continue to play him I mean he can still have days off, like against lefties.

Yup.

I read #2 as giving him a few days right now to clear his head. Probably because that's what is written there. Looks like bochy is leaning towards option #2.

My humble opinion is #1 for the next 3 to 5 games. If that doesn't work, then go to #2. Fuck the I's too.

Repped for total agreement.

Always #4.

My name starts with an I, you can all suck it.

I say sit him a few games. He's looking pretty rough.

They should consider sitting him today, and then tomorrow (lefty pitcher). Maybe play again Sunday, not make a huge thing out of it.

Fear in his eyes, or his hat cocked to the side?

Pants hanging too low, and putting up less than professional AB. He needs to hit the reset button.
